* Sparano said quarterback Matt Moore suffered “concussive-like symptoms” and the team won’t know his prognosis for certain until he proceeds through the post-concussion process. A league source said Sunday night that Moore’s concussion was minor, that he was more bothered by neck spasms suffered on the same play, and that he should be ready to play Sunday at Buffalo.

It takes time to evaluate any NFL rookie class. A training camp bust can quietly develop into a worthwhile contributor, while a guy who looks like he might be the real deal in meaningless preseason games often fades quickly as the real hitting begins.

But now, with the season one game short of three-quarters complete, it’s become clear the Dolphins are getting a lot out of the Class of 2011.

The feel-good vibe that was created by Sunday’s 31-3 rout of Kansas City was still prevalent when the Dolphins returned to practice Wednesday, with everyone but backup cornerback Nolan Carroll participating fully in the two-hour workout. Miami’s improving health is where we start our Thursday morning talking points.

1. The hamstring issues that have plagued the Dolphins all season are disappearing.

Hamstrings have proven frustratingly difficult to heal, particularly in the cases …

KANSAS CITY _ Quarterback Matt Moore threw two touchdown passes to Anthony Fasano and a third to Brandon Marshall and Reggie Bush ran for another score as the winless Dolphins stormed to a 31-3 victory over Kansas City Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.

The win ended a 10-game losing streak for Miami dating back to Week 14 of last season.

Miami had blown three fourth-quarter leads in losing its first seven games, but …

Update: Vontae Davis has actually been ruled out by the Dolphins for a “non-injury” reason. While it is unclear what the reason is, Davis and the team haven’t seen eye-to-eye in recent weeks about the way he’s been rehabbing his hamstring injury and told him to stop seeing a local massage therapist two weeks ago.

Sunday is a special day for rookie running back Daniel Thomas, who of course played collegiately at Kansas State and thus will have a lot of former teammates in the stands when the Dolphins face Kansas City at Arrowhead. That’s where we’ll start our talking points for Saturday:

1. Figure on Daniel Thomas returning, but Vontae Davis remains 50-50.

All signs have pointed toward Thomas getting back in the lineup, but how …

The Dolphins players’ feelings on the “Suck for Luck” movement taking hold in South Florida, in which Dolphins fans root for the team to lose so the team can draft Stanford QB Andrew Luck in the first round in April’s draft, is well documented.

Among the stronger comments from the players, OLB Jason Taylor called it “ridiculous” and TE Anthony Fasano called it “sick.”

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly from the Dolphins’ 20-17 loss to the Giants:

The Good

* Reggie Bush with the ball in his hands: Great day for Bush in Daniel Thomas’ absence, rushing 15 times for 103 yards (6.9 average) and catching four more passes for 17 yards. It was Bush’s second career 100-yard rushing game – the first also came at the Giants, in 2006 – and he also …

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. –The New York Giants scored 10 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to pull out a 20-17 victory over the Dolphins Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

The Dolphins scored on their first two drives of the game and led 14-3 until the Giants drove downfield in the closing seconds of the half to cut the deficit to 14-10. The Miami offense could muster only a 40-yard field goal by …
